Can i also interest you in the Southwest? Tolkien based the Shire on it you know :) x

Cornwall can drift into the Atlantic for all I care but Devon/Somerset are surely worth hanging onto!

Fight me and my bad dentistry you overweight, stetson wearing, language butchering, gun touting redneck.

The UK has a Michelin star restaurant for every 360k people, the US has one for every 1.5million people.

Dammit, I thought we were joining up with the Arctic.

I don't do well in the heat :(

Not in the way it used to be though. I guess what I really miss is finding matches for counterstrike and stuff using IRC, it felt properly community based instead of designed to extract maximum money.

But certain words DO have power, even if it's just power attributed by others it's still power, and it's really naive to think they don't.

Summoning Salt.

Not many people can make a 2 hr video about the world record progression of a game I've never heard of and have me absolutely invested in it all the way through.

Dude makes a video every 3-6months but god I love them. If anything they've improved over the years as his style has been refined and the videos got longer.

Potentially acquired the company I bought the first socks from at some point then. I found the exact socks I'd bought years later and ordered more pairs, might just be idemtical patterns and still good quality but the first set I had were definitely at university, which I graduated in 2012.

It's ueither but specifically ueither with horizontal patterns, any intricate designs don't last as long.

I bought a pack of 5 while at uni in 2011 and they're still going strong today, I have 10 others since then which are as good, but the one time I bought picture designs rather than straightforward stripes they lasted maybe 3-4 years, which still isn't horrible tbf.

There's nothing particularly special about them, they're 80% cotton, 17% polyester, 3% elastane. They just seem to last forever and feel great.

Socks, fucking shit loads of socks, I had 42 pairs arrive the other day. I have a weird thing for socks (no not like that) and have bought everyone a pack of my favourite socks that don't seem to ever die (I have a 12year old pack that are still in great condition despite wearing them regularly).

Everyone gets a 5pack of my favourite, 1 pair of merino wool socks, and a box of sweets or chocolate depending on their taste.

Except for the children, they get toys and games too.

It's clichΓ©d as fuck, but made my life easier and we all prefer focusing on the kids as it's their day really.

If intelligent life exists anywhere else the biggest chance we have of finding anything would be a self sustaining vehicle sent off into space by them at some point. The chances of us being alive at the same time in close enough proximity to encounter each other is almost zero.

If a vessel could wander space endlessly we have a slightly bigger (but still almost zero) chance of encountering it.
